Answer:

p = 7/2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-4p + 9 = -5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>p</u></em>

  1. Subtract 9 on both sides:                     -4p = -14
  2. Divide -4 on both sides:                       p = 7/2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>p</em>:                    -4(7/2) + 9 = -5
  2. Multiply:                               -14 + 9 = -5
  3. Add:                                     -5 = -5

Here we see that -5 does indeed equal -5.

∴ p = 7/2 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

- 4p + 9 =  - 5 \\  - 4p =  - 14 \\ p =  \frac{ - 14}{ - 4}  \\ p =  \frac{7}{2}  \\ \boxed{ p = 3.5}

<h3>3.5 is the right answer.</h3>

What is the length of feet in 5 equal length of ribbon equaling 2 yards of ribbon
alisha [4.7K]
Am presuming you are asking for the length of each ribbon in feet.

5 of them = 2 yards.

1 of them =  2/5 = 0.4 yards.

But note 3 feet make 1 yard.

Therefore:  0.4 yards = 0.4 * 3 feet =  1.2 feet.

In the United States, 30% of people own a cat and 3% of people own a bird. What is the probability of someone owning both a cat
Alex777 [14]

Answer: 9/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of people own a cat:

P(cat)=30/100=0.3

Probability of people own a bird:

P(bird)=3/100=0.03

Probability of both own a cat and a bird

P(cat and bird)=(30/100) × (3/100)

=90/1000=9/100=9%

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!! 20 POINTS!!
Kobotan [32]

Answer: S_{12}=399.90

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the formula to find the sum of a finite geometric series is:

S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Where n is the number of terms, a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio (r\neq 1).

The steps to find the sum of the first 12 terms of the given geometric serie, are:

1. Find the common ratio "r". By definition:

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

Then:

r=\frac{100}{200}\\\\r=\frac{1}{2}

2. Finally, knowing that:

a_1=200\\\\n=12

You must substitute values into the formula.

Then you get:

S_{12}=\frac{200(1-(\frac{1}{2})^{12})}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\S_{12}=399.90
